Indigestion

Indigestion - what is the condition?

A feeling of heaviness, food lagging, belching, diarrhea are symptoms of problems with the digestive system. Often it is indigestion, which can be functional and occurs mainly after eating fatty and indigestible foods that cause pain in the epigastrium. We also distinguish between organic indigestion, which follows the presence of gastric ulcers or reflux. Factors that contribute to indigestion include certain medications, alcohol, large meal portions or hard-to-digest foods.

How to treat indigestion?

Very important in treating indigestion is to change your diet, reduce portions, eating about 5 servings a day and avoiding hard-to-digest foods. It is worth helping the body by taking pharmacological preparations and herbs to aid digestion with artichoke, thistle or mint. Preparations that lower the level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and preparations that protect the gastric mucosa will also work well.
